Alright, forget the "politically-correct"!
Your total IGNORANCE* with the "air" of knowledge has gotten disgusting!
Who conquered Egypt in the time of Alexander the Great? Who were the ruling class of Egypt during Cleo's time? Do some RESEARCH! (Hint: it had some tinge of Grecean formula to it).
* (1) I have read enough of Jeem's posts to put him on ignore. Why didn't I ignore this one! (2) If this had been CFC, I would probably get a couple days "vacation".
Quite why this thread wasn't shut down in the first instance is beyond me. Racism in Civ3? Gimme a break.Three words :- Increase your medication.

Pathetic."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Well an interesting idea, but most likely merely an unintentional oversight due to the fact that it was impossible to create new leaderheads et. al in time for the release of the expansion.
To all those who may have got offended that someone started such a thread - YOU get a clue. Just an idea, worthy of thought like every other idea. Deal with it in your own way, give it thought and say what you think without needing to resort to insults. I don't believe such a thing was intended in ANY insulting sense, let alone as a racial slur, so until we see evidence that someone really does mean it in such a way rather than as just a discussion (is this not a discussion forum?) , don't be so touchy, alright?

Well, I'm one of the supposed "affected" people about this "racism". I can say by myself and the community here in Apolyton from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, etc that we don't feel offended in any way about this. We know this is not racism, this is art laciness (sp?) from the game Developers. Also, this is just a game that we all loves so we couldn't get angry.
If you want a solution, well, do the thing someone said, make an amin. leaderhed by yourself, or just replace de anim. with a pic like the one I'll attach now (it's about the Lord of Sipan, the Moche King).
So, I think they're not racist in any way, just lazy. If they were racist, this scenario (and all it's detailed Civilopedia info ) simply will not exist.
Let's stop trolling and let's play some more

I appreciate what the originator of this thread is trying to say, and I think the rude responses are out of order, but I still think it's wrongheaded and that no "lumping together" of non-Caucasian races was intended. Which leaderheads *should* have been chosen?
After all, most of the leaders in this game are not Caucasian. Of the 31 civilisations in the game, Carthage, Zulu, China, Japan, Korea, Mongols, India, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Iroquois, Babylon, Persia, Sumeria, Ottomans, Arabia (at least - this is off the top of my head) have leaders who are not Caucasian (although with some of them it might be hard to tell in this game... Hannibal, for the record, would have been part Berber, and Cleopatra, as someone so eloquently put it, was Greek). So statistically, any randomly chosen leaderhead will not be Caucasian.

While the topic is worth discussing, I'm think the original poster was trolling. This is his only post to this forum at all.Seemingly Benign
